Subject: Keep acting to save electrification, engage in long-term vision for
Caltrain/101 corridor, Clipper 2 and transit integration in
Keep taking action to save electrification. As you likely know, Caltrain
electrification is at risk in DC. This eagerly awaited, long-planned project
will lead to faster, more frequent service, reduced train crowding, and
alleviating highway congestion. If you haven’t done so already, click here to
learn more and please send a personalized letter to Transportation Secretary
Chao urging her to approve funding for Caltrain electrification without delay.
Here are a few more things you can do to help save electrification.
1) Click here to tell your friends about the risk to electrification and ask
them to email Secretary Chao
2) Share this Facebook post to encourage your friends to help save
electrification.
3) Would you be able to give “save electrification” handouts to others at your
Caltrain station? Come early in the morning or stay a bit later in the evening
and help get the word out. If you use BART or other transit you can do this
too. Send us a note at [email protected] if you’re interested.
Caltrain/101 Vision - March 1 in San Mateo. Caltrain electrification is the
next step; what can we do for major transformation for transportation on the
Peninsula corridor in the coming years and decades? What are the most
effective ways to improve the commute and to help the most commuters, with less
time and stress? Can congestion relief be provided quickly? Can the region
keep up with economic growth without having transportation break down? What
options are best for the climate? What’s best for commuters across a variety
of income levels? Are we on the right track to solve the problems?
On Wednesday March, 1, a cast of experts from state, local, employer, and
nonprofit perspectives (Spur, TransForm, CalTrans, Stanford, C/CAG) will share
options to ease the commute pain and share a vision about how our region can
overcome obstacles to achieve solutions.
Wednesday, March 1

Today, Monday, Feb 13 in SF - Can Clipper 2.0 foster better regional transit
integration?
What’s next for the Bay Area’s next steps toward regional transit coordination?
Come learn from Sara Barz of Clipper and Arielle Fleisher of SPUR about new
Clipper governance; fare policies and regional coordination; and the next
generation of Clipper technology. This will be of interest to anyone who wants
more convenient Bay Area transit. If you have skills in technology, your help
with the Clipper 2.0 project will be especially useful at this point, come if
you can.
The event is on Monday evening, February 13, at 6pm, at 795 Folsom @ 4th, Suite
100. Click here to share the event on Facebook.
